Hello,

I'm new to D programming and tried to convert an int to a char[]. Using
str.string.toString() led to an access violation. I also didn't find those short
c style conversion functions (like atoi etc.). Is there a way to do this
conversion?
The code that results in an error is:

char[] s=std.string.toString((cast(TreeNode)c).text.length);
printf(info~s);

Chris Sauls <ibisbasenji gmail.com> writes:

It looks to me like your error (Access Violation) is probably in the 
expression 'cast(TreeNode)c' and has nothing to do with 
std.string.toString() at all.  Is 'c' a valid instance, assuming 
TreeNode is a class?  Did you test with a dummy statement, something 
like 'char[] dummy = std.string.toString(1234);' ?

And if you want 'atoi()' et al, just import std.conv and there you are.

Thank you, Chris. Your assumption was correct. I tried to use 'c' outside my
main loop (where c was checked). And also thanks for your hints. They will
probably help me a lot.

Quite welcome.  Its a fairly common beginner's mistake. :) Hell, I still 
do it now and then, sadly/admittedly.

Or, it could be the printf

printf(info~s);

isn't a null terminated C string, it's a char * to a D string which is not  
null terminated.

True enough, I missed that from the original post.  Another good reason 
to use std.stdio.writef() instead of the (hopefully not for long) 
auto-imported printf. :)

std.string.format(i)

will convert i to a string.

Chris Sauls <Chris_member pathlink.com> writes:

I keep forgetting about format()...

So on a side note, when will printf() get "cycled out" of D's default
environment?  I mean it was nice and all in the beginning, but now that we have
std.stdio to use, is it really neccessary?
